ValueRAM. Setting a New
Standard of Price/Performance
From component qualification
through quality
assurance monitoring,
Kingston's ValueRAM solutions
inherit Kingston's widely
recognized expertise in
building high quality memory
modules.
Component Qualification
Kingston strictly qualifies
all of its component
suppliers, including its DRAM,
PCB, resistor, capacitors, and
other suppliers. In compliance
with ISO 9001, Kingston
continuously monitors
component quality and
periodically qualifies its
suppliers. In key areas,
Kingston performs regular
factory audits on-site at its
suppliers' factories
worldwide.
Design and Engineering
Validation Tests
Kingston memory products are
subjected to rigorous testing
processes to insure their
reliability, integrity and
compatibility. Each new module
design is subjected to a
series of reviews and tests
that can include:
Specification
Verification - Kingston
engineers verify that a
module design meets the
engineering specifications
issued by OEMs or industry
groups such as JEDEC.
Testing is performed on
Kingston's multi-million
dollar testers that feature
proprietary software that
measures and characterizes a
module's performance.
Signal Quality and
Integrity Test -
Kingston's Memory Technology
Lab utilizes motherboards
and high-speed oscilloscopes
to examine the electrical
signals going into and out
of memory modules. Timing
and waveform analysis
reveals a module's signal
quality and integrity
characteristics, which are
used to predict the quality
of the module's design and
components.
Reliability Tests - A
series of calibrated hot and
cold cycles for up to 1,000
cycles, and a temperature
and humidity stress test for
up to 1,000 hours. In
addition, Guardband Testing
cycles modules through a
series of voltage and
temperature cycles.
Manufacturing and
Quality Assurance
Kingston has set up a world
class manufacturing
infrastructure with ISO 9002
certified processes in the
United States, China, Europe
and Taiwan. Kingston's
manufacturing lines utilize
state-of- the-art surface
mount (SMT) equipment from
Fuji and Panasonic. All
manufacturing processes
integrate quality assurance
monitoring and statistical
process controls to ensure
high manufacturing yields.
Kingston sample tests each lot
manufactured in order to
ensure process consistency and
high quality throughout. Each
customer shipment is also
verified using computerized
stations to minimize shipping
errors and ensure satisfied
customers.
Production Testing
Kingston has invested over $20
million into the most
sophisticated and effective
memory testing platforms for
memory module production. The
equipment investment spans
Kingston's manufacturing
facilities in the United
States, Ireland and Taiwan.
Kingston has a consistent
practice of 100% production
testing of all finished goods
since its inception in 1987.
This means testing every cell
on every chip on every module.
On a 128MB module that is
1,024 million cells. Using
proprietary pattern testing
software, Kingston's testing
process stands unequalled in
the memory module industry.
